The Political Consequences of the Amy Comey Barrett Nomination

Norm Ornstein: We don't have the crystal ball. And as Steve Vladik just explained in his sidebar, depending on the day, you get all these different and sometimes conflicting scenarios. I want to talk just briefly about the potential political consequences, if any, for the Amy Comey Barrett nomination. If Lee got sicker and couldn't show up for a vote, we'd only take one more Republican in that setting before you wouldn't have the 50 votes that they needed to actually confirm Barrett. This really does create a problem for them, a potential problem. They're going to try and jam it through obviously as fast as they possibly can but it may not be possible.
